101. O you who have faith in Allah, follow His Messenger and practise His laws, do not ask your Messenger about things which you do not in need, and which will not be of any help to you in your religion. If you were told of such things, they would upset you because of the difficulty in them. If, despite the prohibition, you ask about these things, then know that revelation is coming down to the Prophet and they will be made clear to you. That is easy for Allah. Allah has not said certain things in the Qur’ān, so do not ask about them. If you ask about them, you will have to follow the law that is then revealed.— الترجمة الإنجليزية للمختصر في تفسير القرآن الكريم
Believers, do not ask about matters which, if made known to you, may cause you hardship. If you should ask about them while the Qur’an is being revealed, they shall be made plain to you. God will forgive you these; for God is much-forgiving, clement.— ترجمة معاني القرآن الكريم - عادل صلاحي
